Nekrasov didn't know whether the warning brought by Chernyshevsky could make Petrashevsky and his group more alert, but he was really uneasy and worried that the scene in 1825 would happen again, so
After returning home, he thought about it but couldn't bear it anymore and went directly to Ogarev.
"Dear Nikolai Platonovich, I am really worried, so I can only come to you!"
Nekrasov explained his purpose straight to the point and asked Ogarev directly: "Do you still have contact with that Vishniak Sergeyevich?"
Nekrasov could not forget the situation of dealing with Vishnyak last time. This very smart officer and his friends cleverly used the weapon of public opinion at home and abroad to defeat Nicholas I, although they could not
Completely copy the miracle from the last time, but it would also be good to learn from it and let the other party give some reasonable suggestions!
Ogarev was a little confused. He was so sleepy in the middle of the night that he thought it was the secret police from the third part who came to the door. Who would have thought that it was Nekrasov with a haggard look on his face, and the other party was the first to come.
Isn't it strange that he asked about Vishnyak's situation?
Although Ogarev had dealt with Vishnyak, he was really not particularly familiar with him. Afterwards, everyone just greeted each other politely through letters, and then there was no further contact. Why did Nekrasov suddenly ask
Is he coming?
However, when Nekrasov explained the reason for the incident, Ogarev's expression became serious. Objectively speaking, Ogarev's relationship with Petrashevsky's group was closer, because Ogarev
Galev was also a radical, because both sides supported the abolition of serfdom, the destruction of the tsar's autocratic rule, and the implementation of peasant freedom.
So when he heard that Petrashevsky's group was in trouble, he immediately paid attention to it. Regardless of whether it was late at night or continuing to sleep, he immediately got dressed in a hurry, took Nekrashev to the carriage and went to find him immediately.
Vishnyak.
"Is this where Mr. Vishnyak Sergeyevich lives?"
The Haymarket in St. Petersburg is not a wealthy or aristocratic area. It is generally a dwelling place for the lower class people. The last time Nekrasov dealt with Vishnyak, he felt that he was elegant and elegant, and had an aristocratic style.
Don't you look like someone who lives in such a shabby place?
"This is not the home of Mr. Vishnyak Sergeyevich, but the home of his friend. According to him, if you want to see him for anything, you can come here and leave a message for his friend or his friend's housekeeper.
"
Nekrasov nodded as if he understood. Although he was still a little surprised, how could someone who could afford a housekeeper live in such a shabby place, but in this era, there were many great nobles who looked glamorous but were actually in embarrassment. It was not worth it.
What a fuss.
But when Nekrasov saw the name on the house plate, he was really surprised, because it clearly said the name "Grand Duke Andrei Konstantinovich Romanov".
He was shocked: "What's going on?"
Ogarev was also stunned. Vishniak only told him the address, but did not tell him who the owner of the address was. Judging from the title and name, a grand duke, Romanov, lived here.
Direct descendants of the family, what the hell is this?
"Did we read the wrong house number? It might be next to it!" Ogarev explained suspiciously.
However, when they searched all over the neighborhood and finally returned to the Grand Duke's mansion, they were all a little confused and wide-eyed.
Ogarev said uncertainly: "It should be here, right?"
"Probably?" Nekrasov was also full of unconfidence, but he did not forget to add: "This is probably the most shabby Grand Duke's residence I have ever seen!"
"Then shall we go in?" Ogarev asked.
"Tsk!"
Nekrasov chewed his teeth. He didn't know whether to go in. Although this was a very shabby Grand Duke's palace, the Grand Duke was the Grand Duke. After all, he was a descendant of the Romanov family. He would not help Nicholas I arrest him.
Thank God for the Revolutionary Party. How could they be kind enough to help them?
Immediately, Nekrasov began to retreat and hesitated: "How about we go back..."
But before he finished speaking, the dilapidated door of the Grand Duke's mansion opened with a creak, and a gray head poked out: "Gentlemen, what can I do for you? I have been paying attention to you for a long time!"
These words seemed calm but contained a strong warning, just like a judge interrogating a prisoner, and there was no room for rejection.
Ogarev had to accompany him and carefully replied: "I'm sorry, sir, for disturbing your rest. We are looking for someone. But it seems that we made a mistake. I'm really sorry!"
Normally, Ogarev and Nekrasov would have been able to retreat just by apologizing, but that was not the case today. The gray-headed man did not let them leave, but continued to ask: "Then where are you looking?"
Where is the gentleman?"
Ogarev and Nekrasov looked at each other, and they both saw deep helplessness in each other's eyes. What do you call this? Isn't it just looking for someone? Why does it feel like being beaten by the police in the third part?
Like a cross-examination.
The two men wanted to refuse, but after looking at the vigilant and scrutinizing eyes of the man with the gray head, they knew that if they didn't handle it properly, they might cause a big trouble even though they were innocent, so they could only answer honestly: "Sorry, we are here to see Vishnyak.
It belongs to Mr. Sergeyevich Bogorovsky. But there is obviously something wrong with the mailing address he left us. We must have made a mistake!"
Just when these two people thought that they could retreat safely now that they had made it clear, the man with the gray head stopped them again: "You are looking for Vishniak Sergeyevich Bogolovsky."
Sir? Could you please tell me what your relationship is with him?"
This question sounded more like the spies in the third film, and it made Nekrasov and Ogarev even more vigilant and suspicious. Neither of them dared to speak on their own initiative, and they frequently exchanged glances, as if asking again:
"what to do?"
At this time, the gray-headed man seemed to see the hesitation and entanglement between the two people, and took the initiative to explain: "Our master is a colleague and colleague of Mr. Vishnyak Sergeyevich Bogorovsky."
My best friend. So Mr. Vishnyak Sergeyevich will leave his mailing address here. Gentlemen, are you friends of Mr. Vishnyak Sergeyevich?"
Nekrasov and Ogarev were slightly relieved, because this statement was correct. It seemed that they had found the right place, but the identity of Vishnyak's friend really made them feel sensitive.
